Thinking that "going long and going short are the same" is a common mistake for beginners. The two are not asymmetrical. When going long, the price can rise "indefinitely." However, the actual profit potential of going short is limited: the price cannot fall below zero. Therefore, the potential profits of going long are always broader, clearer, and more linear. The profits of going short are more concentrated and often harder to predict. Now you should understand why I primarily go long, while in downtrends or range-bound markets, I only observe (or at most take a small position in Ethereum or Bitcoin).
